WedTech: JavaScript Everywhere Roundtable

Owen Densmore
Administrator
This Wednesday (12:00-1:30) we'll have an informal roundtable discussion on JavaScript Everywhere.

Roundtables are informal group discussions of our experiences of emerging technologies.

Examples include WebGL/OpenGl, Projects status and direction, developing for iPhone and Android, Ambient computing, HTML5, Chrome OS and so on .. basically current interesting tech.

At our WedTech tomorrow, we'll have a JavaScript Everywhere conversation, focusing on the rapidly growing use of JavaScript not only in the browser but beyond.  We'll include desktop JS using spidermonkey, rhino and V8, server JS via node.js, and networking via JSON (JavaScript Object Notation). We'll touch on just why JS is gaining interest as developers discover that JS is Lisp in C clothing!

Drop by and share how you use JS.  How do you develop JS projects?  Where do you use them?  Where do you see interesting possibilities for JS on the server and for networking?  What would you like to do with JS?

Be prepared to discuss your experiences and interests of JavaScript outside the browser.  If you have a demo, bring it along!
